Banish the winter blues with cheerful spring hues and add some chic Easter décor just in time for the holiday! Adorn your home with flowers, decorative eggs, and pastels and your guests will be oohing and aahing over more than what you've created in the kitchen. But don’t worry, you don’t need to overhaul the entire house. A little ingenuity and attention to detail can go a long way.
The Mantle Place
The perfect spot for seasonal decorating is your fireplace mantle. Add a white pitcher stuffed with colorful tulips and a matching white bowl filled with pastel blue and pink eggs. Or go sparse and dramatic with slender, colorful crystal vases, like these from Laura Lee Clark in the Dallas Design District. If you really want something out of the ordinary, consider filling with tall branches.
Centerpieces
Whether it’s for the dining room or all the table surfaces in your home, you can’t go wrong bringing a little of the outside in. And what says Easter and springtime better than nature’s own decorations. But if you don’t feel like foraging from your backyard, SJ Silk Designs at the DDD can design natural looking arrangements that will last way past Easter Sunday.
Place Settings
Everyone will love taking their seat at the table with whimsical Easter-themed place settings. Add few speckled Easter egg candies nestled in a tiny faux bird’s nest, or a fresh sprig of babies'-breath laid across a crisp white linen and your guests won’t know if they should Instagram first or just start digging in. Find the perfect decorative glass platter or bowl from Bernadette Schaeffler to complete your service, and your Easter meal is sure to be a feast for the eyes.
Front Porch
Greet everyone with an Easter display before they even walk through your front door. Check out the collection of at the DDD’s Made Good to start. First, pick a unique piece — antique ironwork, a vintage statue, or something even quirkier — to build around. Add some blooming plants and your porch will rival even the fanciest Easter bonnet.
With a little imagination and a little inspiration from the Dallas Design District, you can make this year's Easter gathering together truly sensational.
